One of the few considerations from original. Girlings will be replaced with Baer, PBR calipers and vented rotors.

Nothing like a long weekend for a bit o progress huh. Pedal box together and masters in already, you only got them yesterday, good stuff! How does the roll bar look? You forget the fishmouth and brace length.

Nick

Close on the rollbar, working on windows of house right now. Hope to be back on car later.....

No worries on the forward brace, can eyeball later and forward length...... (looks to be 55")
